Back in August when the news dropped about Scotland's first ever cheese toastie festival coming to Glasgow, we thought, 'what a time to be alive'.

A festival serving ONLY cheese toasties. What's not to love?

It's no secret that our city is the foodie capital of Scotland, and it's also no secret that Glaswegian's are partial to a grilled cheese sandwich, so it was a no brainer for Yelp Glasgow to throw a special event dedicated to the popular delicacy.

After scoping out the array of cheesy choices, we decided to go for one of the hosts, Drygate Brewing Co.'s, toastie - a crispy bacon and mac 'n' cheese on sourdough bread.

Now, strictly speaking it technically wasn't a traditional cheese toastie but the macaroni and cheese stuffed on sourdough bread along with tasty, crispy home-cooked chunks of bacon was a dream. A steep £5, but so far, so good.

Next, we made our way to Accento's stall. This traditional Italian cafe is popular amongst locals in Finnieston, thanks to their legendary Big Franco sandwich, so we were excited to see what they had to offer today.

Out of four tempting options, we went for the speck, mushroom and tallegio toastie on white ciabatta bread. Every part of the toastie was delicious, although the tallegio cheese was a bit on the stronger side.

Coming in at £2.50, there was even enough dosh left to buy the Big Franco canvas bag as a souvenir. Top marks for the scran and the merch.

Julie's Street Kitchen was a must. We've heard great things about Julie's food and it certainly delivered the goods. Her Malaysian inspired toasties caught our eye as soon as we walked through the door and we had to get our hands on the Sloppy Oh?

Super melty cheese goodness combined with slowly braised tamarind onion jam sandwiched between two slices of thick milk bread. On the side, a mini portion of homemade Malaysian coleslaw and a dollop of sweet sauce on the side.

Julie's Sloppy Oh? was a definite winner in our eyes and a stand-out star of the show. The Malaysian fusion flavours complemented the traditional cheese toastie feel to the sandwich, which is why we give it a huge thumbs up.

And last, but by no means least, we couldn't leave the festival without a sweet treat to top it all off. Ocho whipped up a mouth-watering dessert toastie which consisted of brioche, marscapone and Nutella along with fruits and various other delicious sauces. It was light, tasty and the hit the sweet spot to round off the day.

In our humble opinion, Scotland's first ever cheese toastie was a huge hit. Hungry punters filled their bellies with classic cheese toasties with a twist and the event certainly put Glasgow on the foodie map yet again, with unique ideas, exciting menus as well as showcasing some of the most talented chefs in Glasgow.
